How many people actually know and read this site? Are there only 10 of us using this site or is it a much larger number? Do you personally know others using or are we all actually anonymous? Would be nice to get this site out to a broader audience... — read more 

Well I expect zero useful information at the Townhall tomorrow. Anyone else agree?

End of year activities are generally a joke, but this year is one for the record books. The big question is who is getting the differentials? Will those be passed out to someone that is unknowingly on the chopping block, or will upper management... — read more 

The video's are are being played over and over in SP1 3rd Floor related to CEP need to be taken down! Such a moral inhibitor. We all know those twats won't lose their jobs!

Does anyone have any reliable information about how the Edge Project may affect Cost of Living allowances (Market Correction Factor) and rotator travel allowances for Kennedy, Alaska etc.?

I’m trying to keep up with what’s going on at COP. Has an EOI program been officially announced? If so, can you advise if everyone is eligible to submit an EOI? Is the EOI part of a pending general layoff? That is, the company plans to lay off a... — read more 

The use AI to determine if you are valuable….BS!! Management wants no blood on their hands. Cop has been a layoff company for a long time, bad reputation has followed them. But hey, it’s the oil business, that’s the risk you take. History shows that... — read more 

I retired from CoP about 6-7 years ago, my time there was great, great team work and collaborations, good projects and great people. The management was less than desirable in Houston. I went through about 9 layoffs in 13 years. I EOI’d on the last... — read more 

Anyone have insider info on the actual day of layoffs in Canada???

Do you think there will be many people from MRO signing the EOI's and not to many from COP?

Well the Mark is getting full of United Way announcements. Sorry, but you are laying off people and expect everyone to donate their hard earned money for maybe a free day off work. Is a day off work really worth it? Google the salaries of United... — read more 

How many people choose to take the EOI will ultimately determine how many positions will need to be cut later. Let’s just hope there are enough employees who are genuinely interested in taking the opportunity. The more who volunteer, the fewer of us... — read more 

This is great news. Hand out the EOI’s. I am so ready to leave this place and plan a future elsewhere. Upper management has drawn this process out entirely too long. The workload for those that stay will be ridiculous with no real benefits in site... — read more 

Have you guys seen the job market? I don't know how good the offer will be, but unless you can truly retire, I would reconsider accepting.

Let’s go!!!

Until 4th quarter…

Who will it be?

It’s wild how companies can make bad bets, overspend, or overhire and then just cut employees loose like it's no big deal. No accountability at the top, just a quick layoff to clean up the mess. Meanwhile, the people who made those decisions keep... — read more 

Efficiency. Cost savings. Could it work?

If you're in a technical role at Conoco and not chasing management, things start to stall once you hit your 40s. Development slows down fast, even if your reviews are solid. The worst part is, a lot of the folks in charge barely understand the work... — read more 

I understand this can be a place to state fears and feelings but I am hoping that a Manager in the "know" will leak something....

I can’t spend all my time worrying. I’ve shifted my focus and poured my energy into finding a new job. I have a feeling that once I make the move, I’ll end up wishing I had done it sooner.

Last week of July and we have not heard anything new? Any idea when are they coming? EOI, Layoffs %, new structure, ELT changes?

Rumor has it COP will acquire OVV in 2026. COP will continue laying off folks post Marathon to get ready for that acquistion in Q126.

This company isn’t worth any sweat or tears. It’s just that the job market is the stuff of nightmares right now.

Is it true that ERP Services is already training contract workers for their replacements??

We can't afford to lose anybody else. That's the honest truth. If we do, everybody else on my team will walk. If that's the goal, then fine. But if it's not, then the management really needs to pay attention to how much more any of us can take... — read more 

I’m doing the bare minimum. No overtime, even if it feels like the world’s collapsing. I’m actively searching for a better job. I’m choosing to ignore the micromanaging and toxic people on my team. Why should I waste my energy on any of it? Chances... — read more 

Everything’s just about cutting corners and doing the bare minimum. No one talks about pushing things forward or doing something great. It’s all just keep the lights on and hit the numbers. Show a little ambition and suddenly you're a problem. Are... — read more 

Wonder how much those CEP videos that tell us nothing cost to produce.

LAYOFFs

Strong performers will remain to fill the roles that are left and they will be worked to the bone until they quit. Those that get packaged out will be the lucky ones to escape.

God grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change; courage to change things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

Bring the future to work!! I don't even if I have a future here beyond 2-3 months. Its hard to care or move forward when you are waiting for the grand finale. If you knew a meteor had a 30% chance to end the world in 2 months, would you spend time... — read more 

Does anyone know if the Bartlesville campus is open tomorrow? No alerts have gone out and nothing on the news websites have been updated.

I’m genuinely confused as to what the key drivers are behind CEP. The messaging from prior years were positive, banner years even. Then somewhere around Q2-3 2024, messaging takes a 180. I’ve seen oil much lower, the market more volatile. The depth... — read more
